    Yes it is @Singh1000RR and no there aren’t. Many attempts have been made to contact previous admins or @Rob to sort things out and appoint new admins without success.

    Have to admit that today I nearly called it quits. 5 pages of new posts and all but one was spam from multiple accounts.

    Does the site get money from the genuine advertisers? I bet they’d pull out if they thought none of us were interested any more. Rob’d lose income? Needs a kick up the arse

    Feel free to kick him if you can- I’m told Rob’s quite active on the Ducati forum.

    Sad isn't it.
    Several of us have the free time and offered to be moderators but the 'owner' has left it to die.

    I'll help out but can't commit to being the only, especially if someone better can do it.

    I've done it before. but not on this engine.

    We had a 'no links in post until you have been checked by a moderator' and switching that on meant moderators had to jump on new posters as soon as possible so as not to penalise real new users but that eliminates most of this sort of rubbish (six pages of new posts = 3 real posts).
